Everyone deserves support through life's most difficult times. For some, it may have been an event that occurred years ago, and for others it is more recent. Seeking professional help and support is often times the first step to coping with a difficult life period and is a huge sign of courage and investment in oneself. I believe that healing and empowerment are wholly achievable and begin with a trusting and accepting therapist-client relationship in a supportive therapeutic environment.
With over a decade of experience working with clients who have experienced family dysfunction, trauma, abuse, sudden loss, crime victimization, natural disasters, and legal challenges, I know that with motivation, commitment and a supportive and accepting therapeutic partnership, thriving, even after the most difficult life events is within reach.
